🎃👻 What a BOO-tiful Halloween Bash! 🎃👻

Our JCHA communities were filled with Halloween fun, adorable costumes, smiling faces, and trunks overflowing with treats! We had so many little ghosts, goblins, superheroes, and princesses come out to celebrate. It was a great time for everyone!

A BIG thank-you to the wonderful volunteers from His Presence Church and our dedicated JCHA employees who helped make this event so much fun and kept those treat bags full of candy! We also appreciate Walgreens joining us and providing flu shots for those in attendance.

It's always special to see our communities come together, make memories, and enjoy time with one another. This is what creating a community to call home is all about!

🌟 Small Steps, Stronger Finances, A Brighter Future! 🌟

Big goals start with small steps, and JCHA is proud to help our families take those steps toward a brighter future! Our Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) participants came together for their First Annual Resource Event, celebrating new opportunities, personal growth, and the tools needed to turn goals into accomplishments.

Each attendee received a Household Goody Bag generously donated by Wellpoint and a food bag donated by Grace Manor, along with a kit tailored to their individual goal:

💰 Financial Stability Kit: Resources and tools to build financial literacy, strengthen money management skills, and work toward long-term financial stability.

🎓 School Success Kit: Resources to help participants pursue higher education and successfully work toward a college degree or professional certification.

The Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program empowers participating families to work toward greater economic independence by setting personal goals, building financial stability, pursuing education and career opportunities, and creating a more secure future.

A special thank-you to Wellpoint and Grace Manor for their generous donation and to everyone who helps make these opportunities possible for our families!

At JCHA, we believe every step forward matters. Together, we are building stronger families, greater financial confidence, and brighter futures!

💜 Recognizing Domestic Violence Awareness Month💜

Each October, JCHA stands together to recognize Domestic Violence Awareness Month and raise awareness for individuals and families in our community who have been impacted by domestic violence.

Our team proudly wears purple to show our support, stand in solidarity with survivors, and remind others that no one has to face these challenges alone. Raising awareness, sharing resources, and encouraging open conversations are important steps toward building a safer, more supportive community.

A special thank-you to the Johnson City/Washington County Family Justice Center for providing an informative display at our office and helping us share valuable information about the free services available to those affected by domestic violence or sexual assault.

The Family Justice Center offers a safe place to access support, including assistance with protection orders, advocacy, legal resources, safety planning, shelter, and counseling.

🍎🍂 Fall has officially arrived at Keystone & Dunbar! 🍂🍎

The children kicked off the new season with a fun-filled Autumn Apple Festival! We made the sweetest Apple Nachos, piling them high with caramel, sprinkles, chocolate chips and marshmallows. 😋🍎

We also colored fall-themed keychains to attach to their school backpacks, made apple crafts, enjoyed hot pizza and had plenty of apple juice. 🍕🍎

There were lots of smiles, creativity and, of course, plenty of yummy treats! We had such a great time celebrating the arrival of autumn together.

Here’s to a season filled with crisp leaves, cozy days and lots of fun! 🍁🍎

What an incredible summer it has been! ☀️

July was filled with laughter, friendships, and community as our residents came together to make lasting memories. From the fun and games at Central Baptist Church Summer Camp, to the wonderful visits from the teachers and principal of North Side Elementary, to our Community Summer Bash and the Kids' Final Summer Bashes, there was something for everyone to enjoy!

These events are about so much more than just having fun. They strengthen our community, create meaningful connections, and remind us what can happen when neighbors, volunteers, schools, churches, and community partners come together.

One of the highlights of our Final Summer Bash was welcoming the City of Johnson City Fire Department! 🚒 Our kids had the opportunity to meet the firefighters, explore the fire engine, and even climb aboard the rig for a hands-on experience they won't soon forget. Thank you to our local firefighters for taking the time to invest in our youth and make the day so special!

While summer may be coming to a close and students are heading back to school, the smiles, friendships, and memories made over the past month will stay with us for a long time. Thank you to everyone who helped make this summer one to remember. We can't wait to see what the next season brings! 🍎📚🎉

🎨✨ Creativity was on full display at JCHA's Imagination Station!

Our young residents spent the afternoon exploring their imaginations through hands-on activities, creating colorful galaxy jars and fun puff art projects. With simple materials and plenty of creativity, they transformed ordinary items into unique works of art.

More than just an afternoon of fun, Imagination Station encourages confidence, curiosity, problem-solving, and self-expression while giving children the opportunity to think outside the box and bring their ideas to life.

The event was filled with laughter, creativity, pizza, and time spent with community friends. We loved seeing the excitement on each child's face as they proudly shared their creations and let their imaginations shine.

At JCHA, we are committed to providing opportunities that inspire learning, creativity, and community connections for our residents.

North Side Elementary School visit.

A huge thank you to North Side Elementary School for taking the time to visit the children at Dunbar and Carver during summer break. The students were thrilled to see Principal Chad Moore and their teachers, who stopped by to share popsicles, books, and plenty of smiles.
The books will help encourage reading throughout the summer, and the special visit reminded our children that their school community continues to support and care about them even when classes are not in session. Seeing the excitement on their faces was truly heartwarming.
Thank you, Principal Moore and the North Side Elementary staff, for your kindness, dedication, and commitment to helping our children have a fun and successful summer. Your visit made a lasting impression and brought a lot of joy to our residents!

E. Myrtle Phase II is taking shape!

Construction is progressing steadily on the 10-unit affordable housing development designed to serve low-income families in our community. The buildings are now under roof, with roofing work underway. Interior construction continues as crews install plumbing, electrical systems, and HVAC ductwork throughout the apartments.
We are also excited for the arrival of the brick materials, which will allow work to begin on the exterior walls and further bring the vision of this development to life.

This project is made possible through our valued partnership with the Tennessee Housing Development Agency (THDA) and FAHE, whose support helps expand affordable housing opportunities within our community.

At Johnson City Housing Authority, we remain committed to increasing the availability of affordable housing and investing in developments that provide safe, quality homes for individuals and families. We are proud to be part of creating housing opportunities that strengthen our community and improve the lives of future residents. 🏠🔨✨

🎉 Congratulations to Victoria on her graduation from the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Achieve Program! 🎉

Through hard work, determination, and goal-setting, Victoria successfully completed the program and achieved important personal milestones. Upon graduation, she was able to use her earned escrow funds to help make repairs and improvements to her new home. 🏡✨

We are proud of Victoria's accomplishments and excited to celebrate her success!

Interested in achieving your own goals?

FSS Achieve is a voluntary program for JCHA residents designed to help participants set and achieve personal goals that promote economic security and personal growth for individuals and families.

One of the benefits of the program is a financial incentive. When enrolled, any rent increases resulting from an increase in earned income are deposited into an escrow (managed savings) account. Once you successfully complete the program, those funds are paid directly to you.

To learn more about FSS Achieve, contact Tiffany Bernard at 423-509-2128 or email [email protected]
